The only result Jake Okanta Obetsebi-Lamptey, the newly elected National Chairman of the NPP can give his party in the 2012 election is defeat thanks to the baggage he carries into office; he is one of the former NPP government officials who got the NPP to incur the wrath of Gas by attempting to grab Ga Lands, says the leading NPP top gun who granted an exclusive interview to the Daily Post. �One of the reasons why the NPP lost badly in the Greater Accra Region in the 2008 elections, particularly in the indigenous Ga areas along the coast is the grabbing of Ga lands by Jake and co. who attempted to privately take possession of state bungalows, an action that saw a section of Ga youths jump into the street and taking a stand against the NPP� the NPP leading light said. �So you can imagine what the NDC propaganda machinery is going to churn out in 2012 against the NPP since Jake is Chairman of the party. They are going to incite Gas once again against the NPP and you can bet that they will do it efficiently as they did in 2008. The NPP, as a result, may end up losing even the few Ga seats it has now.� �Just imagine NDC social commentators, spokespersons and newspapers constantly telling Gas that a vote for the NPP would see Jake returning to power to take over their lands! What do you think would be the response? A resounding rejection of my party� the NPP top figure added.
